Hi all, 

About 3 months ago I adopted a bity little guy I named Peek Squeek or Mr Peeps 
as I like to call him.  He's a long haired chihuahua mix, just 6 lbs when I got 
him (he's fattened up a bit)  He came to me as a foster, had gotten hit by a 
car and had a broken leg and fractured pelvis.  He's all healed up now and is 
doing GREAT!!!  I also have a senior Chihuahua foster dog named Ernie.  He was 
found as a stray with no name or info at all to go on.  He had 4 teeth pulled 
on the left side of his mouth and now there is a build up of brownish guck 
forming on the roof of his mouth on that side.  I don't think it's an 
infection, everything looks fine otherwise.  I think it's because he doesn't 
chew on that side and maybe it's some kind of plaque buildup??  I read that if 
your dog has no teeth it's good to massage the gums by wrapping your finger in 
gauze and rubbing the gums.  I'm going to try this but was wondering what I 
could put on the gauze that might help.

I LOVE MY boys so much!! Mr Peeps was my first Chihuahua, I own a bulldog and 
they are the best of friends. 

Thanks for any in put :)

Jen
